The Denver Broncos signed free agent cornerback Tracy Porter to a one-year deal worth $4 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Porter is most famous for returning a Peyton Manning interception 74 yards for a touchdown to seal Super Bowl XLIV for his New Orleans Saintsa few years ago; now he’ll be trying to repeat the feat in practice.

Porter, 25, will likely start opposite Champ Bailey for the Broncos.

Good deal for the Broncos to see if Porter can stick in the NFL as a starting cornerback and finish a year healthy, something he has never done. Now it’s time to shore up that defensive tackle position.
